"What King of the Western Regions?" In the Prince of Shu's palace, Lu Ke's expression changed and he couldn't help but walk around the hall. The news spread throughout Chang'an City from Cen Wenwen at noon today.~~~~The princes have grown up.

The matter of being crowned a king is not surprising. Although in the Tang Dynasty, even if a prince wants to be crowned a king, there are many processes. The prince, the county prince, and finally the prince. There are several years in between, but no matter what, the prince still escapes.

It’s true. After becoming a king, there may be times when the king’s title is changed, but they are all similar titles, such as changing from King Wu to King Qi, etc., but there has never been a change from King Jing to King of the Western Regions.

At that time, even if we look at history, there was no such thing. This couldn't help but surprise Lu Ke.

"What is this? Enfeoffment?" There was a hint of anger on Lu Ke's face, and he said dissatisfied: "Father, what is this? Is this for that cowardly and incompetent guy? How can I, the Tang Dynasty, be handed over to that?

As a person, my father went through a lot of hardships to create such a huge empire, and just left it to such a person, how can he be worthy of my ancestors of the Lu family? Father, I don’t accept it, I don’t accept it.

!”

"Your Highness, be careful what you say, be careful what you say." Quan Wanji on the side only recovered from the shock at this time, and quickly stopped Lu Ke and said: "Your Highness, these words cannot be spread, otherwise there will be a big disaster, so it is better to be careful.

"

"Father, this is enfeoffment!" Lu Ke finally calmed down, holding Quan Wanji's hands and said: "I think about the former Jin Dynasty, there was also a enfeoffment system, which caused a melee among the kings and the demise of the Jin Dynasty

, Looking back to the previous dynasties, during the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu enfeoffed, which caused the kings to rebel during the Jing Emperor period. The same is true today. He made King Jing the King of the Western Regions. This was obviously to make him the King of the Western Regions.

Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Western Region were given to him. If the countries in the Western Region were weak, they would be able to traverse the Western Region with thousands of troops and conquer a huge territory. At that time, after several years of recuperation, they would be able to march eastward and enter the great territory.

In the Tang Dynasty, when the time comes, what happened to Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty will happen again. Sir, I think about how wise my father is, why he is so stupid today to do such a thing. Let King Jing become the king of the Western Regions, this is not what he wanted to do.

Rule the Western Region? I really don’t understand.”

"Yes! Your Majesty is usually very wise, so why did you do such a thing at this time? Hasn't the prince thought about it?" Quan Wanji shook his head and said: "I thought that your Majesty's move was to enfeoff, but in fact it was not.

It would be better to say that you are punishing the eldest prince."

"Sir, what do you say? I think that the Western Region is vast and my eldest brother is brave and extraordinary. With a little effort, he can make great achievements. It is far away from the Central Plains. My father will allow him to do whatever he wants there." Lu Ke said with dissatisfaction. Obviously

He didn't believe Quan Wanji's words.

"If His Majesty had acted like this in normal times, we would have to suspect that His Majesty had the idea of ​​enfeoffment. But Your Majesty, what time is it now? There are many people kneeling there outside the press room!" Quan Wanji sneered:

"We know who recruited those people, doesn't Your Majesty know? It's just that the eldest prince is also His Majesty's son, and I can't bear to deal with it, so I demoted King Jing to King of the Western Regions. It seems to be suspected of enfeoffment, but in fact

"I'm afraid it's a disparagement."

"Reprimand?" Lu Ke's face changed slightly, and he asked in surprise: "Isn't my father trying to entrust the throne? Or is it paving the way for His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Quan Wanji's heart moved, he looked at Lu Ke deeply, and said quickly: "Your Highness, this is a rebuke, an absolute rebuke. Whose hands are in the Western Region now? It's in the hands of Qin Yong and Su Dingfang, who have dozens of elite soldiers.

Wan Yu, these people are loyal to His Majesty, how can they be used by the eldest prince? Therefore, although the eldest prince is called the King of the Western Regions, in fact, he is just a showman. In the Western Regions, the decision-making power is still

Your Majesty, Qin Yong, and the eldest prince may not be able to get involved. Your Highness can definitely rest assured. As for the enfeoffment, Your Highness, your Majesty is too far-sighted to do such a thing. Once the enfeoffment is enfeoffed, the empire will not only be in danger of splitting, but also

What’s important is that the power in His Majesty’s hands will be reduced, do you think His Majesty will do this?”

Lu Ke's face suddenly changed after hearing this, and he became extremely pale. He quickly nodded and said: "What you said is true, what you said is true. Okay, that's it for now! The lonely king is tired, sir, please step aside first!"

"Yes, I'll take my leave first." Quan Wanji nodded quickly after hearing this, saluted Lu Ke, and walked out. As he walked, he thought: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu may also have thoughts of enfeoffment. As for the integrity of the country,

I'm afraid sex was not taken into consideration. None of these princes are simple things! However, if King Shu didn't have this idea, would I follow him?" When Quan Wanji thought of this, he couldn't help but shook his head.

"How can my father entrust the Western Regions to be enfeoffed?" In the palace of Prince Yue, Lu Chenglie frowned and said, "Doesn't this mean that we princes will all be enfeoffed in the near future? What should I do?

What should I do if I leave my mother and concubine? Uncle, you have to think of a way! I would rather not have this prince than stay with my father and my mother and concubine."

"Haha, Your Highness, don't worry." Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's move is just to divert everyone's attention, thinking that there will be another enfeoffment. In this way, where will

There are still people who will take the opportunity to cause trouble. I am afraid this is what people are paying the most attention to during this period. As for the Zezhou incident, it has long been forgotten."

"So, this enfeoffment is just a pretext. My father will never enfeoff again. There is no need for me to leave the capital?" Lu Chenglie relaxed and patted his chest and said.

"Maybe, if the prince makes a mistake in the future, he will still be enfeoffed." Changsun Wuji said quietly: "Now the eldest prince has made a mistake, so he was enfeoffed to the Western Region. It may even be further away.

place."

"Derogatory?" Lu Chenglie said in surprise.

"Exactly." Changsun Wuji sneered: "The eldest prince actually threatened your majesty and took the opportunity to cause trouble. That's why today's disaster happened. It seemed like enfeoffment, but in fact, the eldest prince was sent to the Western Region, and the military power was controlled by

In the hands of Qin Yong and Su Dingfang, how can he make any decision? The Western Region is still His Majesty's Western Region, but it is not the Western Region of his Western Region King. His Majesty will not split his country. He is such a smart man, how can he

It will make what happened in the previous Han Dynasty happen again. Therefore, Your Highness, you have to think about enfeoffment. However, this matter is a good opportunity for Your Highness. It depends on whether Your Highness dares to do it."

.

"Please give me some advice, uncle." Lu Chenglie's eyes lit up and he quickly bowed.

"I am writing to Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to take back your order. Keep the eldest prince in the capital, or place him near the capital, and prevent him from leaving the capital, so as not to prevent the eldest prince from not seeing your majesty for several years, which will damage the relationship between father and son." Changsun Wuji said.

He stared at Lu Chenglie closely and said.

"Is this possible?" A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Lu Chenglie's face. Once the imperial edict came out, no one was allowed to object. If Lu Chenglie submitted a letter at this moment, he would be rebelling against the imperial edict. Not to mention that he would not be able to bear this result.

Even the other princes couldn't bear it, so he hesitated.

"Haha, in this case, Your Highness will definitely be criticized by His Majesty. However, these are all on the surface. Privately, His Majesty's impression of His Majesty will be much better." Changsun Wuji said with a smile: "

Your Majesty, don't look at your Majesty's determination, but in fact, your Majesty is very lonely in his heart. This is why he still protects the Cui family even though he knows that the Cui family is powerful and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is weak. Why are the concubines and princes in the palace still sleeping at night?

Where is the meal at Ning Palace? All this shows one problem, that is, His Majesty longs for family affection, the love between husband and wife, and the love between father and son. Therefore, when the eldest prince made a mistake, it was just to demote him to the king of the Western Regions. Your Highness

This move is to cater to His Majesty's thoughts, not only to show that His Majesty cares about the relationship between father and son, but more importantly, to show your care for your brother. In this way, the Emperor must be pleased with this approach of yours."

"What my uncle said is true. I will go and write to the emperor right now." Lu Chenglie's heart moved. He thought secretly for a moment, nodded quickly, cupped his hands and said, "Chenglie has uncle to help him, so nothing can be done."

"Haha!" Changsun Wuji smiled and nodded, saying: "This is what it should be, this is what it should be."

"I just don't know what the elder brother will be thinking at this time. Maybe he is still very happy at this time." Lu Chenglie showed a trace of regret on his face.

"Although the eldest prince has the help of the Fan Yang Lu family, they must also know that this move is not good for him. Unless they have made up their minds to split the Tang Dynasty, Lu Kuan and the others will not be so stupid. You must know that they are far away from the court.

, which means there is no possibility of inheriting the throne." Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said: "It's just that His Majesty has already made a decision on this matter, so they can't object to it. His Highness's move is just a formality.

It’s just a look.”

"My father is so cruel that he actually let my eldest brother go to the Western Regions at a young age." Lu Chenglie suddenly said.

"Your Majesty is clearing the way for His Highness." Changsun Wuji frowned and said: "The eldest prince already has some foundation in the army. If he is allowed to stay in Chang'an, it will be detrimental to the country in the future. Your Majesty's move

It is also a helpless move. I couldn't bear it before, but this time I took advantage of the Zezhou incident to make this decision. Your Highness, you must understand His Majesty's thoughts!"

"Hey, Chenglie understands. Thank you uncle for your teaching." Lu Chenglie sighed and nodded.

"Your Highness, we must not leave Chang'an. Once we leave Chang'an, everything will stop!" In Prince Jing's palace, after a short period of excitement, Lu Chengsi suddenly discovered something was wrong and quickly summoned his cronies.

, after Lu Kuan and others came, they also discovered something strange about it.

"At this time, when my father changed the title of King of the Western Regions to me, did he really want to divide the titles?" Lu Chengsi frowned and said: "What Lu Qing said is true. If I leave the capital, I am afraid that I will not be able to fight with the prince."

The position is really missed. My father doesn’t want me to take over the East Palace!"

"Your Highness, in fact, it is not a bad thing to leave Chang'an and go to the Western Regions." The speaker was Li Meng. He was sitting on the right at the moment. That was the position of the general. Below him, there were several young generals.

, are all friends Lu Chengsi met in martial arts. Of course, most of these people came here for his title.

"The soldiers and horses of the Western Regions are not in the hands of the lonely king. Even if he goes to the Western Regions, he is just an idle prince who flies like an eagle and a lackey all day long. There is no hope." After all, Lu Chengsi has studied the art of war for several years and knows the importance of military power.

What's more, Lu Zhaoci's deeds of conquering the country in the past have long been known to his sons, and the importance of military power has long affected his sons. Lu Chengsi can see the reason for this at a glance.

It was tricky, so after receiving the imperial edict, there was no trace of joy on his face.

"Your Majesty is exiling the prince!" Lu Kuan's face was pale, with a look of fear in his eyes. At this moment, he was afraid of Lu Zhaoci from the bottom of his heart. How cruel can a person who can even exile his own son be?

With such a situation, it's no wonder that this kind of person can unify the world, and it's no wonder that he is cruel. When he thought of his current actions, as if he was fighting with him, Lu Kuan suddenly had the urge to leave.

In fact, not only he thinks so, but other people also think so at the moment. There is a trace of worry and fear on his face. This emperor is so cruel to his own son, and he will be exiled when he is told, without any affection between father and son.

, will the treatment of these ministers be any better?

"Your Highness, why don't you go and ask for help from the Imperial Concubine?" The imperial concubine that Li Meng mentioned refers to Concubine Hui, Yin Mingyue.

"Mother concubine?" A wry smile appeared on Lu Chengsi's lips. In the palace, the empress was in charge of the six concubines. The eldest grandson was quiet and pleasant. Yang Ning'er devoted herself to planning for Lu Ke, but Yin Mingyue only knew how to worship Buddha and chant sutras.

It was impossible for her to ask Lu Zhaoci.

"Your Highness, this matter is related to your future. Even if Concubine Hui doesn't like the struggle for power, she will agree to this matter. If Your Highness doesn't ask the Concubine, how do you know that the Concubine is not willing?" Lu Kuan naturally understood the White House.

Regarding the internal affairs, when I saw Lu Chengsi's appearance, I didn't know what he was thinking, so I hurriedly spoke.

"Yes, if Your Highness doesn't take the initiative to beg the empress, how can you stay in the capital?" Li Meng stood up again, approached Lu Chengsi, and whispered: "Your Highness, everyone gathered here today, that's because Your Highness is

The emperor's son has the possibility of inheriting the throne, but once His Highness goes to the Western Regions, he will have no chance of becoming a great king. I wonder who among those sitting here today will still stick to His Highness? Without the help of these people, His Highness will not be able to succeed.

No matter how brave you are, you can never achieve great things."

"What Brother Shi said is true." Lu Chengsi's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at Li Meng deeply and nodded. The Li Meng in front of him was true. In the final analysis, these people followed him not because of himself.

Can it bring benefits to them? It can make them promoted and rich, but one day, when I can't bring them benefits, these people will leave me without hesitation. If I must go to the Western Regions this time, among these people

I am afraid that a large number of people will leave him and find new backers. Without the support of these people, what else can he do? When he thought of this, Lu Chengsi's expression changed, and he quickly raised his hands to everyone and said: "Everyone, please go back temporarily.

I will make arrangements after I leave the palace." After hearing this, everyone said they did not dare. After taking these people to leave, Lu Chengsi headed towards the palace.

Outside Yilan Hall, Lu Chengsi was kneeling on the ground, but he did not dare to enter Yilan Hall, waiting for the eunuch's announcement. However, he was kneeling on the ground now, but the pain was in his heart. When he came to Yilan Hall before,

It has never been like this before. The door of the palace is closed tightly, and he does not want his son to enter at all. It is conceivable that at this time, his mother may be burning incense and praying in the Buddhist hall of the palace! I wonder if there is any statue of the empress in the palace.

She is so, so indifferent to worldly affairs. To be honest, even Lu Chengsi sometimes hates his mother, why is she so uncaring about her son.
